Tantalum

It has been known for some time that certain alkali granites and related rocks contained tantalum and niobium in large quantities, albeit at low concentrations. Modern mechanised open pit mining can make recovery of metals at very low concentrations economic. Gwalia is now mining profitably tantalum ore grades of 200-400 ppm.

How Tantalum Is Mined

Tantalum comes from the processing and refining of tantalite. Tantalite is the common name for any mineral ore containing tantalum. Most tantalum mines are open pit; some are underground. The process of mining tantalum involves blasting, crushing and transporting the resulting ore to begin the process of freeing the tantalum.
